‼️ACTION ALERT: The Senate Commerce Committee is holding “kids safety” circus again, this time considering both KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) & SCREEN Act, two of the most dangerous censorship & age verification bills on the table! CALL YOUR LAWMAKERS & TELL THEM TO OPPOSE 📲 248-331-8665
This halftime is way too long. The show was eh — definitely not needed (and unwanted!) at a World Cup.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WHY???????? ENGLAND, WHY DID YOU GIVE THEM SO MANY CHANCES?????

I don't think Balogun deserved a red card. Yellow, maybe. But definitely not a red card.
What an egregious red card. It was clearly not intentional.
I moved to a self-hosted PDS! Write-up (hopefully) (maybe) coming soon.
"Boo the EU (just barely) holds us to account so no slopware for you" I notice they vaguely mention security when talking about the EU but for china it's just 'regulatory requirements'
Apple continuing their trend of not making their services available in the EU because of "regulatory barriers" or whatever they're calling it now.
So Apple just recreated Magic Cue, continuing the trend of copying Android
virtually every main social ill we face right now is downstream from the fact that rich people have more money than they know what to do with. national security risk

Say what you want about the #CAGov clown car primary, but billionaire/ self-proclaimed "class traitor" Tom Steyer rebranding Prop 13 as the "Trump Tax Loophole" is an interesting rhetorical move. I wonder why nobody else is taking a page out of his playbook. (h/t @jdcmedlock.bsky.social)
Every home we don't build in California is another American family condemned to live in a Third World theocracy.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 5mo agoTHREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.
I didn’t coin this, but I think about it all the time: murder is completely legal in the US as long as the weapon is a car
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 5mo agoMary Fong Lau, the 80 year old woman who killed four people including a baby and a toddler after crashing into a bus stop going 75mph the wrong way down a 25mph street, has been sentenced to probation and will not permanently lose her drivers' license. This is a despicable miscarriage of justice.
Don't worry, as we speak Charles Entertainment Schumer is thinking about the possibility of considering putting together an exploratory committee to look into options regarding assembling an investigative team to weigh possible opportunities to create a special task force to write a stern email.
The US President casually announcing his intention to commit war crimes on social media. That's where you're at, America.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5mo agoTrump: “If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Angelenos are already some of the most dedicated GO users of all. With this outage, they’ve taken their GO game to brand new heights. On the first day of the outage alone, GO trips surged 14% as 50,000 Transit users helped their fellow riders get home. City of Angels indeed 🫶
Alissa Walker@awalkerinla.bsky.social · 5mo agoBetween the record-shattering heat and an outage that wiped out Metro's real-time updates, it was not an easy week for LA's transit riders. But @transit.app helped fill information gaps by crowdsourcing data from riders to supply fairly reliable data for those of us out there waiting for buses
Putting all this in one thread for ease of sharing. Jacquelyn Dupont-Walker (Karen Bass appointee and Metro Board member) may be putting herself in jeopardy of a serious corruption probe for actions in which she's currently being assisted by Bass herself. THE FACTS:
